10 years old:
fatty meals and chubby thighs,
runway models with bones well defined,
saying no to a burger and chips.
after all,
a moment on the lips,
a lifetime on the hips.

12 years old:
balanced meals and pinching thighs,
brainwashed friends with pro ana and wanting to hurl.
after all,
boys don't like fat girls.

14 years old:
skipping meals and thinner thighs,
five run miles for a block of cheese,
counting calories,
not wanting meals,
after all,
nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

16 years old:
no meals and gaps in thighs,
arms like match sticks
and poking out ribs.
size two dresses, body so mini.
after all,
everything looks good on skinny.
